The Obama administration's recent workplace crackdown on illegal immigrants has many employers nervously awaiting the next round of promised ICE audits. However, says A.J. Irwin, Director of Investigations at Dallas's Yarbrough Strategic Advisors, it is a concern that can be corrected through diligence. "When you are talking about workplace violations, the government has taken a strict view of the employer's responsibility in making sure all employees are verified to work in the United States. Any technical mistakes in the completion of the I-9 form expose the employer to additional scrutiny and liability," says Irwin, who worked with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service and with ICE for more than 25 years. "Egregious violators are going to be discovered by the wide net thrown out by ICE. But even for these companies, it is never too late to get assistance with federal rules and regulations, to show good faith and make corrections to comply with the law."
